There are different costs incurred in Maintenance Order process.

Internal Material - This will happen by having integration with PM & FI. Costs will be picked up from Material Master

Internal Labor - This requires integration between CO & PM. If you don't want to have this integration, then you can't get the Internal labor cost. To achieve this, don't maintain Activity price in KP26. You have the option of booking the time without cost in Actual time confirmation.

External Labor / Material - This will have integration of FI & PM. Through PM Order - PR - PO - GR / SES, you can book the cost.

Settlement - Here, you can't settle the cost to Cost Center, instead you can book the PM Order cost to some Internal Orders which will cater the same requirement as Cost Center.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FM will be used to control the budget on Maintenance process. FM can be deactivated if you don't to have any control on Budget. Instead, you can control budget either through WBS or KO22 where you can maintain the budget for a order types.

Hi

I d like to track  different maintenance costs :

create a work order that differentiate between 2 kind  of costs .

no integration with co and fm and fi

generate a PR via this work order, and at this level (PR) I will have the integration between CO FI FM

create a report to list the total value of each kind of cost

thanks

Tom,

The labour part is easy enough to resolve by not entering any detail in the work centre Costing tab.

The problem will come with stock/non-stock materials, free text purchases and purchases of services. What do you intend doing here?

Then there is the FICO side to consider if you journal any costs to orders.Talk to you FICO team on this one.
